Where does the time go really? It seems like just yesterday that I was being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance because God decided Braden should enter this world sooner than expected and in an unforgettable manner. Little did I know, we both were on the brink of not making it. Today, our little miracle is 3! That is still unbelievable to me. I know people say that when your get older, the years go by so quickly. But Holy Cow!
I look at Braden a little bit differently, knowing he might not have been here. I hug him tighter, kiss and love him more. He is truly a Godsend. He has his typical moments like every 3 year old does. He pull every game out of the closet and finds the ones with the little pieces just to make a bigger mess. He throws a fit when his brother won’t play with him. He knows every word to Wonder Pets and Yo Gabba Gabba and sings them loudly. He is constantly in the cabinet searching for another snack. His favorite, “heepops” (lollipops) and M and M’s. He came up to me this morning and said ” I want three”…I thought, Ok, he wants to make a 3 with his fingers because we were practicing for when he shows people how old he is. I showed him with his fingers and he said “no, right here” “I want 3 M and M’s” I giggled and happily gave them to him. For today is his birthday and I want him to know how special he is. Our lives would be so different had Braden not been here. I thank God everyday for him and his brother. Happy Birthday my sweet boy!
